hey guy,
i am wondering what are the good mpg for local, i got 21.5 average. is that good or bad? im driving an auto trans

Sounds like good city mileage to me, but depends on which engine you have.

Rhetorical question: What constitutes average? Daily? Weekly? Monthly?

My driving is not equally divided between local and highway, so I can never get a true reading on "average". "Average" can be interpreted many ways.

If I was really obsessed with fuel consumption, I'd be re-setting the gauge every time I put the key in the ignition. I do like to see how I'm doing on the highway, but those numbers are skewed depending on the amount of miles I drive over 65 mph, over 75 mph, etc., the temperature outside, with or without cruise control, or if my top is up or down.

Average mileage figures are misleading. There are way too many variables that affect consumption.

i am driving the ecoboost

As Tom stated, a lot depends on your driving style. Also, the amount of time you spend just idling in traffic can have a big impact.

andy21996

yeah that true, i stop a lot at stop sign and red light

My Ecoboost averages about 22 in the city.

I get 16 - 17 in the city, but most of my city driving are trips of 3 miles or less. I got about 19 with a 2012 Focus with the same type of trips, so I cannot really complain. The Mustang is A LOT more fun to drive.

i drive mostly city and we have some real bad traffic. so i hardly get 17 - 18 mpg. on a good road trip i get 23 - 24 mpg.

RubyRedMCA_Beast

I see max boost several times per day and average 20mpg around town.

32-34 on the highway!

SpeedCostsMoney

I am sitting at 24 mpg right now. However, I keep my foot in it and that turbo always boosting.

wileec

5500 miles into it with a couple of longer road trips and averaging ~24-25. I have seen 30+ at reasonable speed
